There is certainly some of that, but there are a lot of people who grew up with helicopter parents who do not want to be treated as adults. They’re the ones who talk about feeling safe and complain that they feel unsafe when people disagree with them. Jonathan Haidt has talked a lot about these people, well worth checking out some of his lectures on YouTube or his book “The Coddling of the American Mind”. It’s a fascinating look at how an entire generation has been ruined by poor parenting and how those people may go on to damage society.

Helicopter parents are worse than neglectful parents. Helicopter parents raiae dependent, anxious and entitled children. Boomers started this shit and now look what has happened.
